Once again, spring is upon us after another long, but not so bad winter (thankfully). With melting happening in earnest, we begin to think about when the Yukon River is going to break, awarding cash to some lucky person who will guess close enough to the actual day and time of the ice’s demise. The annual graph has been prepared and, mathematically speaking, the river will break at precisely 10:00 p.m. on May 4, 2014. However, as Mark Twain is reported to have said, “There are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics”. Alas, statistics is exactly what the graph represents. The chance of the ice breaking at 10:00 p.m. on May 4 is approximately 1 in 31,680 (April 28 – May 19 = 22 days * 24 hours/day * 60 min/hour); and that is if we discard CORRECTION: May 28, 1964 as an anomaly.

Since 1979 the Dawson City Music Festival has grown from a weekend barbeque in a field into the centrepiece of the Yukon summer. Despite its humble beginnings, it has turned into an all-consuming event in our community. It is one of the most anticipated events in the north, selling out annually and setting a Yukon standard for excellence in programming and thanks to its unique location and spirited audience, has become a must-see event for adventurous music lovers. The 36th annual Festival will take place July 18-20, 2014 in various venues around Dawson City. Alex Cuba, Andy Shauf, Cousins, Evening Hymns, Feeding Frenzy, Jaffa Road, Jaron Freeman Fox, Les soeurs Boulay, Monkeyjunk, Nick Ferrio & His Feelings, Pharis and Jason Romero, Rural Alberta Advantage and many more to come, including Yukon talent!

The Sun obtained funding in late 2009 from the City of Dawson, YTG’s Heritage Branch and the Community Development Fund to conserve and archive early issues and make them available once again in the public domain. This is a great resource for students, writers and historians, and also for prospective tourists with an interest in Dawson City’s life. Each month, we are re-printing our front pages from 20 years ago (seen above) as a souvenir of our lively history. If you want to see page 2 and beyond, check out our website. Past issues are available there for download. Go to http://klondikesun.com. More will be added periodically (heh) when we have time!
